Daytime and evening parking restrictions, Campus Connect changes planned Oct. 15-16 for Friday football game
Faculty, staff, students and visitors should be aware and plan ahead for daytime and evening parking restrictions Thursday and Friday (Oct. 15-16) due to Friday’s home football game.
The university recognizes the impact this has on faculty, staff and students and has added alternate parking locations with dedicated shuttle service to central campus so university activities can continue uninterrupted.
Review a summary of revised parking operations below and complete details on the Friday Football Games – Parking and Transit impacts webpage before heading to campus for work or academic purposes later this week. The webpage includes a downloadable version of the map.
Thursday (Oct. 15)
- Select parking lots, including portions of the Discovery Park lot and Córdova Recreational Sports Center, will be unavailable beginning at 4 and 5 p.m. and continuing through Saturday morning.
- Parking garages will operate normally with no pregame restrictions.
Friday (Oct. 16)
Parking
- All individuals with eligible parking permits can park as usual in the Northwestern Avenue and University Street parking garages and will not need to vacate if parked prior to 3 p.m. Once event parking begins at 3 p.m., only those with a paid athletic event parking pass will be able to enter.

- A number of parking lots and street parking will be unavailable in the vicinity of Ross-Ade Stadium beginning at 7 a.m. for normal game-day operations.
